INTRODUCTION
This walkthrough gives explicit instructions for playing Quest for Glory IV
that lead to a successful conclusion. It provides, where necessary, separate
directions for each of four different characters (Fighter, Magic User, Thief
and Paladin). The walkthrough is designed to be used sequentially, so the game
can be played completely from the instructions. I have supplied links to each
days events to help find the instructions needed. To facilitate those who wish
to use this walkthrough for explicit instructions in one section of the game
only, I have supplied links between the same locations to be visited at
different times. Note that the days event's may not occur on the exact day as
these depend on your performing actions on previous days according to the
instructions in this walkthrough. Links between the same locations are given
for this reason. By following these links you should be able to find all
possible actions that should be performed in that location.
The information given here assumes that the player has read the game
documentation included in the Quest for Glory IV game box. The documentation
comprises the 'Sierra Game Manual', 'Shadows of Darkness Technical Guide',
'The Journal of General Job Adjusting, HERO, Special Hallowe'en Issue' and
'Quest for Glory Shadows of darkness Combat Reference Card'.
This walkthrough also assumes you have.access to maps of the valley and of the
castle. I have included maps of all the areas you will visit in the Maps
section of this walkthrough.
Note also that if you have version 1.0 of the floppy disk based game you will
need the following two patch files. Do not start the game with out applying
both these patches or your saved files will not be restorable after the
patches are applied. Both patches can be found in CIS GAMAPUB Forum, Sierra
On-Line Section 11:
QG4NOT.ZIP Patch which fixes the order of events in the Hero's bedroom so that
important events are certain to occur. Without this patch you will not be able
to complete the game.
QG4PAT.ZIP Patch which fixes a number of fatal errors and miscellaneous other
problems.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
CREATING A CHARACTER
Before you can start playing you must either import a character from a
previous QUEST FOR GLORY game or create a new character. This walkthrough
assumes you are either importing a Paladin or creating a new character. If you
are creating a character three different characters will be displayed:
Fighter, Magic User and Thief. Select whichever appeals to you. Then allocate
points. This walkthrough depends on the Thief having some magic using ability
so assign the extra 100 points to the Magic Skill. This will enable the Thief
to perform many, but not all, of the Magic User specific actions and skills.
The Fighter must be able to climb, so assign the extra 100 points to the
Climbing skill. Otherwise assign the 100 points as you like. Don't forget to
give your character a name.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
GENERAL HINTS
1. Sleeping
There are a few places where you may sleep so that you can recover your
health, stamina and mana: Your room at the Inn, the Staff area inside the
Town Gate and Erana's Garden in the forest. (You can leave and enter the
Inn in the middle of the night by climbing through your bedroom window.)
2. Eating
Eat breakfast and dinner at the Inn when ever possible, and keep stocked
up on Avocado and Garlic Sandwiches which you can buy at the General
Store.
3. Monsters
Before you start the game set your skill level in the control panel to
Low. Set combat to Strategy and set Auto-Save On. This will make fighting
monsters and villains as easy as possible. The game will automatically run
the combat sequences for you and the monsters will not be too difficult to
defeat. Provided you have built up your skills sufficiently, you should
survive every encounter. If not, there is always the auto-saved file!
4. Money
You will likely need to find extra cash to spend on rations and equipment.
You will find stashes of money from time to time as you explore. You will
encounter wraiths and undead after dark. They carry treasure and money.
Take the treasure from the wraith's barrow and search an undead's 'body'
after defeating them. If you are a Thief you will have many opportunities
to steal money.
5. Potions
You will be able to obtain two types of healing potions. The regular
healing potion that restores some of your health points and the poison
cure potion that will counteract the effects of poison. Both are very
useful. You will find these potions from time to time as you explore and
meet people. The most reliable method of obtaining potions, is to visit
Dr. Cranium. Each new day he will supply you with one potion of each type.
6. Mana Fruit
There is a Mana Fruit tree in Erana's Garden. Only Magic Users can pick
the fruit. And you will only be able to pick one fruit each day. Eating
the fruit restores some of your mana points.
7. Rest and Time Driven Events
Rest whenever you need to heal or recover health or mana points. Rest also
when you need to kill time! Sometimes you must wait for darkness before
you can perform the next required action. Sometimes you must act at a
particular time of the night. Resting then checking the time will help you
arrive at the proper place at the right time.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
SET UP
Go to the control panel and set the following.
1. Skill level to low.
2. Combat to strategy.
3. Autosave to on.

QUEST FOR GLORY IV: Shadows of Darkness is published and distributed by Sierra
On-Line Inc.
This walkthrough is copyright (c) 1995 by Diana Griffiths. All rights
reserved. Not to be distributed without permission.
This walkthrough gives explicit instructions for playing Quest for Glory IV
that lead to a successful conclusion. It provides, where necessary, separate
directions for each of four different characters (Fighter, Magic User, Thief
and Paladin). The walkthrough is designed to be used sequentially, so the game
can be played completely from the instructions. I have supplied links to each
days events to help find the instructions needed. To facilitate those who wish
to use this walkthrough for explicit instructions in one section of the game
only, I have supplied links between the same locations to be visited at
different times. Note that the days event's may not occur on the exact day as
these depend on your performing actions on previous days according to the
instructions in this walkthrough. Links between the same locations are given
for this reason. By following these links you should be able to find all
possible actions that should be performed in that location.
The information given here assumes that the player has read the game
documentation included in the Quest for Glory IV game box. The documentation
comprises the 'Sierra Game Manual', 'Shadows of Darkness Technical Guide',
'The Journal of General Job Adjusting, HERO, Special Hallowe'en Issue' and
'Quest for Glory Shadows of darkness Combat Reference Card'.
This walkthrough also assumes you have.access to maps of the valley and of the
castle. I have included maps of all the areas you will visit in the Maps
section of this walkthrough.
Note also that if you have version 1.0 of the floppy disk based game you will
need the following two patch files. Do not start the game with out applying
both these patches or your saved files will not be restorable after the
patches are applied. Both patches can be found in CIS GAMAPUB Forum, Sierra
On-Line Section 11:
QG4NOT.ZIP Patch which fixes the order of events in the Hero's bedroom so that
important events are certain to occur. Without this patch you will not be able
to complete the game.
QG4PAT.ZIP Patch which fixes a number of fatal errors and miscellaneous other
problems.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
CREATING A CHARACTER
Before you can start playing you must either import a character from a
previous QUEST FOR GLORY game or create a new character. This walkthrough
assumes you are either importing a Paladin or creating a new character. If you
are creating a character three different characters will be displayed:
Fighter, Magic User and Thief. Select whichever appeals to you. Then allocate
points. This walkthrough depends on the Thief having some magic using ability
so assign the extra 100 points to the Magic Skill. This will enable the Thief
to perform many, but not all, of the Magic User specific actions and skills.
The Fighter must be able to climb, so assign the extra 100 points to the
Climbing skill. Otherwise assign the 100 points as you like. Don't forget to
give your character a name.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
GENERAL HINTS
1. Sleeping
There are a few places where you may sleep so that you can recover your
health, stamina and mana: Your room at the Inn, the Staff area inside the
Town Gate and Erana's Garden in the forest. (You can leave and enter the
Inn in the middle of the night by climbing through your bedroom window.)
2. Eating
Eat breakfast and dinner at the Inn when ever possible, and keep stocked
up on Avocado and Garlic Sandwiches which you can buy at the General
Store.
3. Monsters
Before you start the game set your skill level in the control panel to
Low. Set combat to Strategy and set Auto-Save On. This will make fighting
monsters and villains as easy as possible. The game will automatically run
the combat sequences for you and the monsters will not be too difficult to
defeat. Provided you have built up your skills sufficiently, you should
survive every encounter. If not, there is always the auto-saved file!
4. Money
You will likely need to find extra cash to spend on rations and equipment.
You will find stashes of money from time to time as you explore. You will
encounter wraiths and undead after dark. They carry treasure and money.
Take the treasure from the wraith's barrow and search an undead's 'body'
after defeating them. If you are a Thief you will have many opportunities
to steal money.
5. Potions
You will be able to obtain two types of healing potions. The regular
healing potion that restores some of your health points and the poison
cure potion that will counteract the effects of poison. Both are very
useful. You will find these potions from time to time as you explore and
meet people. The most reliable method of obtaining potions, is to visit
Dr. Cranium. Each new day he will supply you with one potion of each type.
6. Mana Fruit
There is a Mana Fruit tree in Erana's Garden. Only Magic Users can pick
the fruit. And you will only be able to pick one fruit each day. Eating
the fruit restores some of your mana points.
7. Rest and Time Driven Events
Rest whenever you need to heal or recover health or mana points. Rest also
when you need to kill time! Sometimes you must wait for darkness before
you can perform the next required action. Sometimes you must act at a
particular time of the night. Resting then checking the time will help you
arrive at the proper place at the right time.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
SET UP
Go to the control panel and set the following.
1. Skill level to low.
2. Combat to strategy.
